The Fulltone Full-Drive 2 MOSFET is one of the most influential boutique overdrive pedals ever produced. A modern classic, it builds upon the original Tube Screamer-style circuit by adding a dedicated boost channel, multiple clipping options and the renowned MOSFET mode, giving guitarists an incredibly versatile drive pedal capable of everything from transparent edge-of-breakup tones to rich, sustaining lead sounds. It's no surprise the Full-Drive 2 became a staple on countless professional pedalboards and remains highly sought after on the used market. 

Unlike many overdrive pedals that excel at only one sound, the Full-Drive 2 MOSFET offers exceptional flexibility. Whether you're pushing a clean valve amplifier, adding warmth to an already-driven amp or using it as a solo boost, it delivers dynamic, touch-sensitive tones that respond beautifully to your playing and your guitar's volume control.

This pre-owned Fulltone Full-Drive 2 MOSFET is presented in good condition and comes complete with its original box, making it an excellent addition to any pedalboard.

Why Choose The Fulltone Full-Drive 2 MOSFET?

The Full-Drive 2 combines a highly musical overdrive with an independent boost channel, allowing you to switch seamlessly between rhythm and lead settings without needing another pedal.

MOSFET Clipping Options

The addition of MOSFET clipping provides a more open, dynamic response with increased clarity, while the Standard mode retains the classic Full-Drive character players have loved for years.

Vintage, Flat Mids and Comp-Cut modes allow the pedal to work with a huge variety of guitars and amplifiers, from mid-focused lead tones to transparent clean boosts.

Excellent Dynamic Response

The pedal reacts beautifully to picking dynamics and your guitar's volume control, making it feel much more like an extension of your amplifier than a traditional overdrive.
